I've traveled around quite a bit, and granted I am from Ma originally.. but I don't think we are
that bad.. lol. I would recommend the Dartmouth school system for orchestra for your children. I know people that have gone through their system, and done very well! The town really backs up the arts & music, and I know the children have even travelled internationally to play. They are known to be "snobby" but.. as with anywhere.. there are social butterflies & hermits. Dartmouth is about an hour south of Boston. Another town that I LOVE is Fairhaven. The community in this town is FANTASTIC! I've walked around their bike path, and the beach, and everyone is SO FRIENDLY!!!

But I am not sure if they have an orchestra. Really cute shops in their center, and amazing architecture with the Unitarian church & their library! Check it out! Best of luck!!
